CastSolid resin used in kiln burn-out or in vulcanized molds?

Hi,
If an artist is able to create a vulcanized mold with any resin -- why the hype over so-called 'CASTING' resins? Meaning that if I print a resin piece then vulcanize it -- then cut around the mold, and even into the resin and manage to create a usable vulcanized mold from ANY printable resin, and then inject some wax into the created mold and run off as many copies of the original as the mold will allow, why would I need to buy expensive Casting resins? Am I just purchasing this expensive goop so that I can burn out the printed resin with a kiln only if I wanted or needed to, vs running multiple copies of wax version using the vulcanized rubber route? Thanks in advance!!
